Replacement iPhone restored but App sort order lost...

What happened to the manual sort of my 98 apps after I restored to a replacement iPhone?
Doesn’t the backup store app sort order?

Okay, quick post as I have to leave. You find the backup data set in /home/library/application support/mobilesync I think and that the backup data which the sync process creates. You restore that directory to the desktop, and then remove the current equivalent from your machine to the trash and put the restored on in its place. make sure the auto sync is disabled, connect the iPhone and then do a Restore from backup.
Hope that makes sense - got to dash !

Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download?

Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download? All my purchased albums are showing on iTunes Store and my iPad but won't download onto new iphone. I just bought another album on my phone and that won't download either. My phone is on IOS 6.1.3 iPad is on IOS 7.0.4

You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

Did you try reinstalling the app and contacting the developer (there should be a contact link on the app's description page in the store) ? If you don't get a reply from the developer then you could try
'report a problem' link from the purchase history on your computer's iTunes instead of on your iPad : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

Any way to Restore Last Manual Sort Order or Prevent from being Overwritten accidentally?

     Help!
     I'm constantly accidentally overwriting painstakingly created manual sort ordering (sometimes hours but more often months of accumulated work) in folders with files numbering up to 1,000, when i, however breifly, switch to another sort ordering (size, date modified etc) to check something, immediately forget that i'm in another sort order, and, unthinkingly (actually i guess i'm thinking of a lot of other things) drag a file to another position, this immediately destroys any past manual sorting i've established, overwriting it with this new inadvertent manual ordering.
     I've tried CommandZ (edit undo) but that only undoes my last rating or labeling, i've rushed to force quit Bridge through the activity montior hoping i will catch it before its overwritten, but obviously i am not as fast as a computer, and i don't think this has ever worked.
Is there any way or any script someone has written to formally save a manual sort order? Is there anything i've missed to attempt restoring it? Has anyone, repeatedly foiled by this, written something that would give a warning and require confirmation say for instance, if i tried to drag or move a file while in another sort ordering (this seems like something that should have existed the minute the opportunity was given to create manual organization). Would anyone be willing to?
     Seriously, me forgetting almost every time isn't going to change and, more vexingly, it's even happened when i didn't mean to move anything but fumbled momentarily while in another sort order. I think most people might forget because (in the context of computing) we are conditioned to expect a warning if something we have just created is about to be written over or discarded, and since there is no option to formally save a manual ordering we have just created.
     Also, if this was in the real world, moving a single file would not reshuffle everything on your desk. If i had the option to formally save a manual organization i would NOT forget to do this and would use it, as i've wished for one every time spent a while rearranging files. Knowing how easily all the hours (much less months and years of cumulative work) of organizational work can be accidentally lost makes working within Bridge unpleasantly anxious.
      I'm literally willing to do anything including installing some sketchy 3rd-part scripts (though honestly i have no idea what that means or how to do it). I extentively use and rely heavily upon this function so this is a fairly serious Achille's heel. It's like watching your incredibly important meticulously constructed house of cards collapse with a careless but innocent sigh, or like having the equivelent of a not even charming cat dance across your keyboard during a live concert, etc etc....
     Also it is not usually appropriate, given the context, to batch rename everything to preserve a manual ordering w sequence numbers, etc. Often the filenames are considerably (but necessarily, to connote important differences) long already, and when i have to rearrange things in the future would have to do that each time, etc, etc, making for even more unwieldly filenames that didn't have any substantive information at the beginning. I'm looking for a way to make this function (manual sort ordering), well, more functional, secure and stable, the workarounds i've considered cause too many additonal problems.
     Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to offer, and as this is my first attempt to use the forums as i live on a boat with no regular net access, would appreciate any forum etiquette corrections, and advance apologies for any misspellings, dyslexic and spellcheck does not seem to work in this interface. next time will edit in external wordprocessing program beforehand,
          li'l mc szpf
     PS i'm on a 27" mac w CS4 Design Premium, w up to the minute OS (10.6.8) and Adobe software updates installed recently (i do not often move the monster but this week was housesitting w net access, so she has had all recommended shots and vaccinations....)
     PPS I know most of y'all might be running the newest and the latest of everything, but, i'm fairly certain this is still a problem in recent versions as this has happened to me at school where all the macs are running cs5. Though if it's been addressed somehow in cs6 would update entire suite just to fix this one problem in Bridge. I've tried many searches and found nothing relevant or wouldn't bother the considerable expertise and resources of an official forum, was extremely hesitant to ask (feared getting snapped at for unwittingly broaching forum etiquette) but it is truly the bane of my considerable Bridge existence, so was willing to risk the imaginary censure and opprobrium....

That is a good question, to do this requires two functions and a restart of Bridge all done automagically
Copy and paste the script into ExtendScript Toolkit
This gets installed with Photoshop and can be found:-
PC: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Utilities
MAC: <hard drive>/Applications/Utilities/Adobe Utilities
Start Bridge
PC: Edit - Preferences - Startup Scripts
Mac: Adobe Bridge menu - Preferences - Startup Scripts
At the bottom click the "Reveal Button" this will open the folder where the script should be saved.
Close and restart Bridge.
Accept the new script.
To use:
Tools - Backup Manual Sort
This will backup the hidden manual sort file .BridgeSort to .BridgeSortSave
Tools - Restore Manual Sort
This will copy the .BridgeSortSave back to .BridgeSort and will close and restart Bridge so that the manual sort is restored.
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
var backUpManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Backup Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "backupms" );
var RestoreManSort = new MenuElement( "command","Restore Manual Sort", "at the end of Tools" , "restorems" );
backUpManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(fileSave.exists) fileSave.remove();
fileSort.copy(fileSave);
fileSave.hidden=true;
RestoreManSort.onSelect = function () {
var fileSort = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSort");
var fileSave = new File(app.document.presentationPath +"/.BridgeSortSave");
if(!fileSave.exists){
alert("No backup file exists");
return;
app.document.sorts = [{ type:"string",name:"document-kind", reverse:false }];
if(fileSort.exists) fileSort.remove();
fileSave.copy(fileSort);
fileSort.hidden=true;
app.document.chooseMenuItem("mondo/command/new");
app.documents[0].close();
app.document.sorts = [{ name:"user",type:"date", reverse:false }];
Hope this works for you.

Replacement iphone restore, icloud doesn't have backup

I have recieved a replacement iphone 4s under warranty. The problem is that when I tried to restore the phone using my icloud backup all it can find is my ipad backup. There is no evidence of the iphone backup I did earlier in the day before I got the new one. They both use the same apple id, of course. Does anyone have any idea how I can find my icloud backup(s)?

What iOS version was on your old phone, & what iOS version is on your new phone?

IPhone 4 upgraded from iPhone 3GS but Apps did not synch after restore...

I have had every iPhone since the very first one - call me crazy... and each time a new one has come out, all I have needed to do is take it home, restore from last back up and voila - all good. This time, no so good - I took the new iPhone 4 home, plugged it in, restored from backup, then selected to synch my iPhone. Now, admittedly, I have 21.4 GB of music, about 4800 songs (which is why I bought the 32Gb phone, again) and it takes quite a while to restore and synch the phone. When the initial synch was complete, iTunes had only copied my music, movies, pics, etc, everything EXCEPT my APPS! So I spent about an hour organizing all my apps into folders and moving them around, then I synched it and all was good 4 days ago. Last night I went to synch my phone and received several errors stating that the phone could not synch and that some files were missing, so I restored from backup, again, and resynched, again, and this time, like last, all my apps were not installed, but only some of the folders were... Am I doing something wrong or is there a trick to get this to work... or maybe some of the apps I have need to be trashed?
Thanks in Advance,

I need to ask, just in case, but are you certain you have enough room for the apps? It seems like you do, but you might have synced some videos or movies that prevent the apps from syncing.
You might have some corrupted Apps too. Don't synch any apps you don't need, and then try again. You're going to have to take some time to sort through it all.

Replacement iPhone restore problems - only a very old backup

My partner lost her iPhone 4 and just purchased an iPhone 4S - she didn't want the new 5s (size). When she went to do a backup from her computer the most recent restore option is more than 18 months ago. She doesn't do frequent sync to iTunes but she has definitely sync her iPhone 4 this year on more than a few occasions. I had this problem (not this extreme) when swapping iPhones , recent sync is not in the list .
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Have her update her phone and try again. If the replacement phone is running a lower version of iOS than the one she backed up, the backup will not be shown when she attempts to restor it. (She can check the iOS version by going to Settings>Ganeral>About>Version.) Updating will update it to iOS 7.0.2.

Restore iphone restore in-apps

I was wondering if I backup my iphone then restore it will I still have all the data and the in-apps. Or do I have to purchase the in-apps again?

Okay, duh...I realized that I should never have tried to use my iPod Touch to restore my iPhone. They are like apples and oranges. I was the first person the Sprint Rep had ever activated an iPhone for so she accidentally lead me astray and neither of us realized how iCloud worked. I had an epiphany and I stopped restoring the iPhone and now all my contacts and everything are still there but the apps I want are downloading. Yay!

New iPhone restore from old backup and lost new photos

Hi there
I recently got a iphone 5 and from the excitement of seeing Obama in cape town, took pictures of his speech and even recorded my friends shaking his hand and have brief converstaions. Now when i connected the new phone into my mac, itunes requested a restore from old backup. So agreed, not knowing that all the new photos / movies of the US president would be deleted!!!
Can i reftieve them or not. and why doenst Apple provide such informaition to users for new restorations?
Please help!

Same problem. My wife lost her iPhone 3Gs while on vacation. Purchased iPhone 5 on the trip and took pictures with it. When we got back home I clicked restore from a previous backup and all the pictures disappeared.
I wonder if Apple is reading this thread. ?????????
NO... What did you expect the phone to do when you restore from a backup.
You should've imported the new pics to your computer as you would a digital camera..

BB10 / Z10 Swiping back from System Settings, Menu / App sort order, BB10 UI recognizing email / phoneno / addresses

There some inconsistencies within the BB10 UI which I finally figured is derived by the ability to swipe back from the stock UI except from within the system settings where we have to use the back button to go back between screens.
Can we have option to sort System Menus or Application Drawer and the ability to hide applications like previous BBOS?
BB10 UI is not intuitive in regards to recognizing email / phone nos / addresses compared to prior BBOS. A lot of trial and error copy and pasting to do what you want to do with said contact info until figuring out what works. Unfortunately besides not being able to call a phoneno directly from anywhere, a user does not have the ability to copy and paste number on a dialer or search item to call like previous BBOS. User will have to either try to go back and for the between screens to dial and call the number or use the trust pen and paper method.

Okay, yes, I'm suffering from new phone syndrome but ill ask these final things for today. Home / Lock screen customization would be nice. Between the phone / search / camera icons on the bottom bar theres empty space which can fit two other icons like maybe one for brower and text. May we get the option to change these shortcuts? I for one do not use the camera often so it's useless to me on the Home / Lock screens. May we also get an option to pin active frames so we do not have to keep opening the same ones, in my case battery and weather apps. I know it would drain the battery faster but hey its my choice and that's why I'm getting the BlackBerry battery bundle for ADD people like myself.
Finally, may we get more password options like swipe pattern found on Android phones to unlock the phone. During my cup of tea with the enemy, that was one of my favorite features as it was a lot faster to do one handed than text based passwords. Again, the camera is useless to me so having other than that on the lock screen would be great. Please let me have the choice to see a brief description of my notifications on the lockscreen like the descriptions found on the drop down drawer from previous BBOS. It has notification counters and agenda info but I want more like the ability for these icons to quick launch to their respective apps like email to email or text to text app. Even power button screen can have more quick toggle options like quickly going to vibrate or airplane mode.
If all these things are not something BlackBerry wants to do themselves, especially since most are old BlackBerry features, please bring back BlackBerry Themes. There are many talented BBOS UI designers who are being left behind in the old world who could greatly help fine tune the UI to specific needs and interests. I believe these themes would definitely be a hit in BlackBerry world and I would purchase them if I found one that suits how I want to use the phone quickly and efficiently.
All in all it is great phone which unfortunately a BlackBerry power users have to dumb down for any expected BlackBerry features that are not there yet or may never be possible for a full touch phone. Due to my line of work, the quest to owning just one phone will continue to elude me because I need / require the ability to filter and set level one notifications. Current enterprise users know what I'm talking about. Hopefully they will come.
